"Most great stories of adventure, from The Hobbit to Seven Pillars of Wisdom, come furnished with a map. That's because every story of adventure is in part the story of a landscape, of the interrelationship between human beings (or Hobbits, as the case may be) and topography. Every adventure story is conceivable only with reference to the particular set of geographical features that in each case sets the course, literally, of the tale."-Michael Chabon

Reminder

1-Attend the Wildness Symposium--if you haven't done so already. (Know that I have been at every event--so if you don't attend there I will notice)--so far the events have been amazing. Write a fifty word response to or snapshot of something in the event you found particularly poignant (to be turned in Thursday)
2-Tuesday, no class, you'll be taking a tour of the Power Plant. If you haven't signed up already I will post the sign-up sheet openings on the blog by tomorrow. (Don't worry about the Powerplant Stat sheet--just go.) (If you're not sure of the location check out Miss Dixon's blog--she'll be posting a map within the next couple days--http://eng250fr.blogspot.com/)
3-Thursday we will meet in the large classroom (Hoover 1227). Quick Reminder: Missing class because you don't know where class is located still counts as an absence. If you don't know where a room is ask me either during class or a reasonable period of time before class begins--I'm not necessarily checking my e-mail thirty minutes before class starts.
4-Bring your hard copy Wildness Symposium sheet to class on Thursday. No additional readings.

Have a great weekend!

    Hi, I was wondering what are the main points about the power plant visit you would like us to write about.

    Hi I'm so confused because I thought there would be another symposium, and I was out of town this weekend; what would you like me to do? I could write a paper on the blood dazzler/possibly something to make up for it if there is not another opportunity like this past weekend. Let me know! Thanks!

    Hey Emily and Shawn,

    Sorry I didn't see your posts.

    Emily: Maybe find a video or podcast of one of the speakers at the symposium and write about that.

    Shawn: We're writing about the Power Plant in class--don't worry about it until then.

    Hope that helps!
